Contemporary Art Society Annual Report 1955-56 The Contemporary Art Society • The Contemporary Art Society, Tate Gallery, Millbank SWI Patron Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Executive Committee Raymond Mortimer (Chairman) Peter Meyer (Hon. Treasurer) Loraine Conran (Hon. Secretary) Sir Colin Anderson Sir Philip Hendy W. A. Evill E. C. Gregory Eardley Knollys Howard Bliss Mrs. Cazalet-Keir Sir John Rothenstein, C.B.E. Eric Newton Mrs. Oliver Parker A. B. Lousada Dr. Alastair Hunter Organising Secretary Pauline Vogelpoel Chairman's Report The cheerful report on the year 1956 that I am privileged to offer you is defaced by one black spot: Mr. Denis Mathews, who had been our Assistant Secretary for ten years, resigned in the Spring. He wished to give all his time to painting, and as I greatly admire his gift I must applaud as well as regret his decision. By his enthusiasm, enterprise, tact and imagination as well as by his patient industry he did far more than anybody else to revive this Society, and on your behalf I wish to express the deepest gratitude. The Committee elected in his place as Organising Secretary, Miss Pauline Vogelpoel, who had been working as his assistant: her abilities have already proved even greater than we had hoped. She is now receiving some valuable help from Mrs. Meninsky. The Exhibition of paintings and sculpture depicting "The Seasons", which had been organised by the Society, was housed in the Tate by the generous permission of the Director and Trustees. Forty-four painters and thirteen sculptors accepted our invitation. Their works attracted nearly thirteen thousand visitors. The Sub-Committee appointed for the purpose, purchased for the Society paintings by Josef Herman, Patrick Heron, Derek Hill, Mary Kessell and William Scott, and bronzes by Reg Butler, F. E. McWilliam and Bernard Meadows. We gave grants to the Tate Gallery and eight provincial museums towards their purchase of paintings by John Armstrong, Michael Ayrton, Robert MacBryde, Bateson Mason, Mary Potter, Ceri Richards, Adrian Ryan, Jack Smith, Ruskin Spear, William Townsend and Corel Weight. We even helped the Arts Council to acquire a bronze by Lynn Chadwick and paintings by Keith Vaughan and Victor Willing. Absurd, you may think, that a small Society with limited resources should use these to bolster the Arts Council which is enormously richer. Personally I feel that the Arts Council should have blushed to invite our help. We gave it as ungrudgingly as possible, and I should like to hope (but cannot) that the Council may be shamed by our generosity into allotting a much larger fund for the purchase of works of art. Apart from this exhibition we presented ninety works to seventy-two museums in the United Kingdom, and twenty-three others to fourteen in the Commonwealth. These included works not previously distributed remember that 1955 was a year in which we did not mount an from the Edward Marsh bequest. We held three exhibitions in exhibition of our own, and since the date of the balance sheet we have the provinces of works belonging to the Society, and lent works to been able to use the 1955 profit in making purchases from the twelve other exhibitions as well as to three hospitals and three "Seasons" exhibition. educational institutions. In 1955 as in the previous year we spent about £3,000, divided The purchaser for the year, Mr, Loraine Conran, bought for us almost equally between pictures and running expenses. We bought pictures by Peter Coker, Alan Davie, Merlyn Evans, Frederick Gore, twenty-three pictures for £1,384 and also made a grant of £200 to Anthony Gross, William Halle, Peter Kinley, Denis Wirth-Miller, the Tate Gallery to help them to purchase two important paintings by Russeii Piatt, Adrian Ryan, Jack Smith, Keith Vaughan and Michael Ben Nicholson. Our running expenses came to £1,593, and in these Wishart. days of ever mounting costs, the Secretary is to be congratulated on I wish to express the deep gratitude of the Society to Mrs. Cazalet- keeping them at this modest level.

Eleanor Clayton: A normal person from Wakefield; A remarkable artist but a remarkable woman. Stephen Feeke: Hepworth was odd because she didn't see herself as a feminist at all and didn't see herself as “I'm a pioneering woman”. She just felt she was a pioneering sculptor. Barbara Hepworth: I was born with the ideas of certain shapes in my mind. At least I remember as far back as seven. The whole time one's been working at it and working, trying to simplify and make more mature, get the right scale, and develop it according to the development of society. [music] Jo Baring: Hello, and welcome to Sculpting Lives the podcast by me, Jo Baring. Sarah Victoria Turner: And me, Sarah Turner. Jo, this is our first podcast and episode. Why are we doing this? Jo Baring: We met in our professional lives. You are Deputy Director of the Paul Mellon Centre, and I am Director of the Ingram Collection. We have a shared interest in art, but we realised when we met that we are really fascinated by sculpture in particular. Also, during the course of our discussions, we realised that women artists and women sculptors, in general, are less commercially successful than men, less represented in national institutions, museums, possibly have less gallery shows and we really wanted to unpick why that happens.

Painters I include, among others: Francis Bacon, John Bratby, Alan Davie, Luclan Freud, Gwen John, I Wyndham Lewis, Ben Nicholson, John Piper, Patrick Scott, Walter Sickert, Graham I Sutherland and John Tunnard.

Beginning as a seminar paper for Professor Zdatny’s class in Fall 2018, my research on Churchill and De Gaulle slowly grew into the thesis that follows. It was a collaborative effort that allowed me to combine all of my fields of study from my entire university experience. This project took me to London and Cambridge to conduct archival research and made for many late nights on the second floor of the Howe Library. I feel an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment for this thesis that is reflective of the work I have done at UVM.
